the man on board needed help. He called 911. The sailboat owner said he’d been stranded for eight days, much of that time without food or water, Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. The sheriff ’s office Marine Unit already was on the choppy water that rainy, windy evening.
It didn’t move. On Tuesday, someone who’d been watching the boat from shore went to investigate. When he got within shouting distance, he realized that the boat was stuck in the mud and
It had been dispatched to help a woman on a boat with a small leak and no fuel. The Tulalip Tribes ended up taking that call. Deputies then got the call to check on the man on the sailboat. They soon realized he was in trouble. See BOAT, Page A8

EVERETT — Even at his 100th birthday party, Jim Jackson tried to deflect attention from himself. Jackson still volunteers at least two days a week at the Museum of Flight Restoration Center. Ask him, though, and there’s nothing remarkable about him staying busy transforming pieces of raw metal into airplane parts. He’s just part of the crew keeping the facility running. “I’m nothing if I don’t have them to help me or tell me what to do,” he said. Jackson was born May 31,
1915, in Seattle. He celebrated his actual birthday Sunday at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Everett. He was joined Wednesday by Museum of Flight staff, volunteers and family members at the restoration center’s Paine Field facility. His birthday cake showed a B-29 bomber, an airplane he had worked on during the World War II and many decades later as a restoration project for the Museum of Flight, where he’s now one of about 80 volunteers. Slim and stooped, he walks briskly from one end of the restoration hangar to the other. He’s developed a reputation for working much younger guys under the table.

“Jim represents the very best of what we’d like to see in a volunteer,” said Dan Hagedorn, curator for the Seattle-based Museum of Flight. “He’s faithful. There’s not a job we ask him to do that he doesn’t accept — and he does it well. Above all else, he is utterly reliable.” He got involved about eight years ago, at age 92 after his wife, Cynthia, died. They had been married nearly 50 years. When he walked in the door, he recognized cowlings from a B-29 bomber. “I made some smart remark about how heavy they used to be,” he recalled. See PLANES, Page A2

STANWOOD — A bear and a horse were killed in separate accidents Wednesday night on north Snohomish County roads. The bear was struck about 8:15 p.m. on northbound I-5, a few miles north of Stanwood, said Washington State Patrol trooper Mark Francis. A woman was driving home to British Columbia when she hit the bear in the center lane, he said. The woman was unhurt. The bear was knocked into another lane and hit by a semi. The animal weighed about 200 pounds, “definitely not a fullgrown bear,” Francis said. It is hard to know if the bear killed Wednesday is the same one spotted in the woods and grass of the I-5 median near Stanwood in late April, said Jennifer Maurstad, a sergeant with the state Department a Fish and Wildlife. “It just seems like there are so many bears in that area,” she said. The median separates six lanes of northbound and southbound traffic, which whizzes by at 70 mph. Maurstad set a live trap in April, but the bear didn’t oblige. Wednesday’s crash “was real close to where the trap was set,” Maurstad said. In July a small bear was hit on I-5 in the same area. In 2010, a bear was killed on southbound I-5 near Everett Mall Way. The bear spotted near Stanwood in April was believed to be young, weighing roughly 150 pounds. An estimated 25,000 to 30,000 black bears live in Washington, according to Fish and Wildlife. They typically avoid people but can wander into residential areas, attracted by garbage, pet food and bird feeders. As a precaution, pet food should be kept inside and garbage should be put out in the morning. In the spring, black bear diets consist mostly of plants, from emerging grasses and sedges
